"The Master of the Book Coffin?"

The waste book in Liu Xing's hand was a dilapidated old book, with crumpled pages and a thin layer of dust on the cover. Wipe off the thin ash, only to see a picture of the internal structure of the coffin printed on the cover, and the five big characters "master craftsman of the coffin" are written in red font on the top of the picture.

The book coffin master refers to the craftsman who specializes in making book coffins, and the book coffins used by ancient Chinese novelists to store books are all from the hands of book coffin craftsmen.

Nowadays, there is almost no such profession as a coffin maker in Huaxia, but there are some descendants of the coffin maker who have founded a safe deposit box company. Among them, the most famous is Lu Xiuming, a descendant of the Lu family, whose invention of Lu's safe is the crown of the three major brands of safes in China.

The author of this book "The Master Coffin Maker" is also a descendant of the Lu family, and he wrote part of the coffin making process handed down by the ancestors of the Lu family into the novel, telling the story of the battle between the coffin master and the tomb robber.

"The entry point for this novel is quite novel. ”

While most tomb robbers tell the story of how a tomb robber steals a coffin, this book takes a different approach, with the protagonist of the novel being a skilled coffin maker who painstakingly develops an anti-theft coffin to deal with clever tomb robbers.

There are not many tomb robbery novels with this kind of idea, because it requires the author of the novel to be proficient in the craft of making book coffins, and this kind of author can be said to be rare.

The author of "The Master of the Book Coffin" is a descendant of the Lu family, and has an incomparable advantage over ordinary writers.

"Such a novel should be a high-quality novel, how can it be a waste book?"

Liu Xing felt strange, didn't think much about it, and immediately flipped through the novel.

"Sure enough, it's a buried star novel!"

Liu Xing was secretly happy in his heart, he specially took a look at the publication time of "The Master of the Book Coffin", and found that it was actually published more than forty years ago, and it is estimated that it has been backlogged in the library for more than twenty or thirty years.

"It's no wonder that such an early novel would be dismissed as a scrap book. ”

Liu Xing once looked up some information about the history of Chinese waste books on the Internet, and found that the earlier the waste books, the more likely it is to find star novels.

More than 30 years ago, due to the relatively backward technology of book appreciation at that time, the poor book reading equipment, and the immature book reading theory, the accuracy rate of book appreciation was relatively low, and many good books were missed.

And the vast majority of these good books are drowned in a huge number of waste books.

The Huaxia Book Appreciation Association once considered conducting a second appraisal of the early waste books, but the number of waste books was so large that even if it took 500 years for the national book connoisseurs to complete the appraisal task.

Helplessly, the Appreciation Association had no choice but to give up.

Many people in Huaxia know that the earlier the waste books, the more likely they are to find star novels, but there are too many waste books, and looking for them is like looking for a needle in a haystack. More than a decade ago, there were some novel collectors who wanted to make a fortune by buying scrap books, and bought a large number of scrap books, but in the end they all lost their fortunes without exception.

Since then, it has become common knowledge that everyone knows that it is impossible to make a fortune from scrap books.

Of course, this common sense does not work for Liu Xing.

For Liu Xing, these waste books have a huge potential business opportunity and a good opportunity to make a fortune, and he has already tasted a little sweetness today.

He bought more than 3,000 scrap books today, with a total purchase price of about 5,000 yuan.

And although this "Book Coffin Master" is only a one-star novel, tomb robbery novels are relatively scarce in Huaxia, and the price has always been several times higher than ordinary novels.

According to the current market, a one-star tomb robbery novel can be sold for 11,000 yuan, and this "Book Coffin Master" has a novel idea, and it will definitely not be lower than this price.

In this way, Liu Xing has earned at least 6,000 yuan, plus the one-star novel "The King of Sleep" found before, the profit should exceed 7,000 yuan.

Overall, buying scrap books is a good business.

The star-rated novels found today are all one-star, so the profits are relatively limited. If you can find novels with two-star or three-star or above, then the profit can increase by several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times, and Liu Xing may become a millionaire overnight.

Of course, this requires a certain amount of luck.

There was no such luck today, and he only earned 7,000 yuan, so Liu Xing pinned his hopes on tomorrow.

……

The next day, Liu Xing got up early, he was a person who liked to sleep lazy, but he decided to fight hard in order to make money.

After breakfast, he immediately went out to continue the plan to buy waste books on a large scale, and Xing Wanli, who collected waste goods, continued to ride a tricycle to help carry waste books.

After a day of contact, Liu Xing found that Xing Wanli was honest and hardworking, so he had signed a short-term labor contract with Xing Wanli. Liu Xing's acquisition of scrap books is not a day or two, but a long-term one, and it is necessary to hire a porter.

Liu Xing had already visited 40 bookstores in Novel Street yesterday, and today he decided to visit the remaining 70 bookstores in an effort to wipe out all the waste books in Novel Street.

The news of Novel Street spread quite quickly, and the news that Liu Xing was buying scrap books had already spread among some booksellers, and when they saw Liu Xing sitting on Xing Wanli's tricycle through Novel Street, many people cast strange glances at him.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the tricycle was filled with more than 3,000 waste books, and Liu Xing decided to go home.

When his tricycle passed in front of the Fugui Book Bar, he happened to be seen by Cai Fugui and another bookseller, who were drinking tea in the book bar.

"Boss Cai, I just said that Liu Xing's kid is buying scrap books, you still don't believe it. A bookseller pointed to the street outside the book bar, "Look for yourself, you also rented a broken tricycle." ”

Cai Fugui turned his head to look out the door, and really saw Liu Xing. At this time, Liu Xing was in high spirits, sitting on a tricycle full of waste books, chatting and laughing with Xing Wanli, who was collecting waste products.

Seeing this, Cai Fugui almost squirted out a sip of tea.

The bookseller wondered: "What kind of reputation is Liu Xing doing, why did he buy so many waste books?"

"Fool, of course you'll do something stupid. Putting down the teacup, Cai Fugui smiled and said: "Liu Xing, this kid seems to be very sick, Caiyun Bookstore was going to be transferred yesterday, I wanted to take over, but Liu Xing took the lead." This kid signed an agreement with Huang Caiyun, saying that he would gather 400,000 yuan within three days. If he can't make it up, he will compensate Huang Caiyun 20,000 yuan. ”

"400,000 yuan in three days?" the bookseller's face was shocked, "Liu Xing doesn't want to buy scrap books to make 400,000 yuan, right?

"If Liu Xing could understand, he would not have been treated in a psychiatric hospital for more than two years, he was already a mentally handicapped child. While speaking, Cai Fugui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was still a little worried about where Liu Xingzhen got 400,000 yuan and bought Caiyun Bookstore. Now seeing Liu Xing buying scrap books, Cai Fugui feels that he is too worried, and Caiyun Bookstore is already in his pocket.

"Lao Liu is really, since Liu Xing is sick, why did he still let him be discharged from the hospital?" the bookseller was puzzled, "Isn't it good to be treated in a psychiatric hospital?"

"For a father there is a son. The son is stupid, how smart can the father be? Lao Liu is a master who waits for death, and this is the end of his life. Cai Fugui took a sip of tea and said, "Don't talk about this pair of stupid hat father and son, let's talk about the afternoon auction." ”

"You didn't mention it, I almost forgot. Boss Cai, there is a good book at the auction in the afternoon, you must be interested. ”

"Tell me, what kind of book is it?"

"It seems to be an out-of-print tomb robbery novel......"
